selves to the new conditions in a spir

are heretofore, no issues before the
'ountrY that are not common to all the
people, and that are not Of an econom
ical and national character. There arc
no questions before the National Leg
tslature that do not equally affect the
he interestsoi the States aud that can
not be discussed from a basis Of per
sons ! welfare by the by the citizens Of
all OF them. For the future therefore
egisla, on both national and State, is
to be OF a business character, and Is
for that reason to come home closer
and closer to the individual citizen.
personal politics is with the bosses, to
be regulated: the past, and civil ser
vice reform is to secure to the country
honesty efficiency aud ;adustrY in
public places. The political outlook
is all that could be desired Presiden

Miss Claxton is ill. Up stairs
ia her little room she lies tossing
and restless, her golden hair mat
ted ore the snowy pillow and her
ialr cheeks burning with the heat
of fever.
Lila, who loves her so dearly,
hovers near listening in wonder at
her strange mummurings, and pit
eous means. Mrs. Singleton and
the white capped nurse steal softly
about the room on tip-toes. Once
when the former is bending tender.

Her voice sinks into a low moan
and she brings her hand wearily
across her eyes as though to clear
the mist from her sight.
"Father, OH father" she calls,
"come to your darling" Then
follows an inarticulate mumbling
of words which the others cannot
understand.

temples. "What is it Viola, you

"Come mamma" says Lila put
ting her HAND caressingly upon her
mothers head and wiPing away her
own tears. "rhis will nevervio,
we must get her quiet. Nurse"
she says turning 20 the wqNtn
standing at the window, "bring

Viola drinks i, with the obe-
diencs Of a child, and Lila dismiss
ing both her mother and the nurse
talaeg her seat beside the bed and
watches the poor restless creature
toss asd murner until sleep finally
comes % her relief.
Outside the wind is hurling great
drops Of rain against the window
panes. Darkness is coming on and
soon the light Of day will be shut
out by the mantle ofnight Slow
~ it desceuds with not a single
star TO spangle the sullen clouds Of

st George pacing TO and fro his
Office Aoor, for in there he has lock-
ed himself, takes no heed Of the
bowling wind or the beating rain.
His thoughts are riveted upon the
being who lies sleeping now qui-
etly at Lila's side.
Will she be taken from him. Oh.
how bitter the thought. Is he IN
any way responsible for this sud
den attack. How strangely she
had acted when they parted. And
she grows worse each day since
first taken. How will it end? And
indeed If death be victorious, where
will a spirit like hers go, what
doom will it meet? Can a being
pure and fair as she be devoid of
soul, Must the grave be the end
of life without SIN? No, his own
soul revoIts against the thought.
She, his bright star, has a soul 80
pure, so innocent, that the angels
Of heaven look down on 1t with
rapture. Then there is a heaven
prepared for such as she and a
God to welcome a soul so pure.
But who is there to receive a soul
all dyed and covered in the dark
ness Of sin? And where, where is
the abode of such a spiriH
Before hIm yawns the dark cav

as he views this mental vision. He,
the man who has scoffed at eternity
now stands trembling. Can he not
turn back? Must an awful gull
roll between her and him both in
this world and the next? No, no
I Viola, he whispers bowling his face
in his hands, I will ask your Goo

There in humble pleading to The

THE LAST STR w.

The Presidents action in regard to the New
York election seems to have been an "eye
opener" all around. The ''old war horses"
of the Democratic party, who had about given
up all hope of ever seeing any more "pure
Democracy" are very much pleased with the
performance, and they confidently expect a
return of the good old times before public
Office was public trust. They are happy,
but the Mugwumps, who went in for Cleve-
land and reform so heartily and confdingly,
are shocked so that they are in some cases
weeping and wailing and crashing their
teeth. They cannot understand how Mr..
Cleveland could do SO. They thought he
was above it, that he was better than his
party, and that he was very much opposed
to offensive partisanship.
Some of those who have had to discover
the sawdust in their doll are openly express
ing their woe. For instance, the Boston
Herald, which was ga true friend of Mr..
Cleveland at a time when those who have led
him into this act were secretly or openly
plotting his injury" feels it duty to speak
plainly upon this matter, and does so as fol-
lows: The President made serious mistake
in overstepping these bounds in the election
just over in New York State-a mistake
which has injured him more in the estima-
ton Of those who are his best friends than
any act that he has done while in the presi-
dency. In the matter of removals from Office
there is the excuse of party pressure founded
to some extent on long and unjust ostra-
cism from Office of Democrats; in the case of
the Maryland bosses there was only failure
to act, negative avoidance of duty. In that
of New York there was an unnecessary and
an undignifed interference, and that in favor
something, in the FIRST place, that the Presi-
dent, out of regard for the Importance of his
high Office, should have refrained from doing;
and, in the second, it was an act of distinct
election to favor the more Objectionable cam
didate of the two between whom a choice
was offered. The Independents
have favored him because they believed him
to be SO grounded in principle, so controlled
by sense of propriety, SO sppreciative of
the dignity of his position, as to be incapable
of an act like this. Their allegiance to him
is no blind devotion to man; it is confidence
in what the man was supposed to embody in
his character. This confidence has had a Sc
we're shock.
Twas ever thus. There's nothing real in
this world, not even Democratic reform.
Nobody but the Mugwumpe ever expected to

figures the motive power of the locomotives
is not included, whose number in all the
world amounts to 105,000 representing a
total of 100000 horse power. Adding this
amount to the other power we obtain the
total of 46, ,000, 900 horse power. A steam
horse power is equal to three actual horses

something that will throw solid or an ex-
plosive projectile-a solid shot, shell or a

are tabooed under the laws of war because
they do unnecessary damage; that is, they
kill after striking, when the wounds they
first cause would be sufficient. It follows
that if you could overpower your enemy
without either killing or wounding him, that
plan would be preferable to any now exist
ing. That is what believe can be done It

with this chemical instead of gunpowder. It
will not be necessary to penetrate a ship. A
few gallons of this nitrate dashed on the deck
of war ship would soon render her crew
helpless. The most powerful ironclads would
be even more vulnerable than the light
cruisers, for they would be sucking down
great draughts of air through their artificial
ventilators, and the odor would thus rapidly
permeate the whole ship. The whole crew
being rendered helpless for an heur or two,
the ship could, of course, be towed into a
safe spot, while the captors ventilated her
and removed the insensible men"

last week Chicago now claims 887, 900 popu-

would swell it to about 1000, 900 population.
There is agitation for home rule in western
Australia. Thus far it has been Crown

is not likely, however, that it will get home
rule for some time, because although the
colony is large, covering an area of 975, 900
miles, it has population of less than 40, 900
persons of European blood. England pre-
fers that it shall remain a Crown colony,
